History
Walt Disney and his brother Roy arrived in California in the summer of 1923 to sell a
cartoon calledAlice’s Wonderland. A distributor named M. J. Winkler contracted to
distribute the Alice Comedieson October 16, 1923, and the Disney Brothers Cartoon
Studio was founded. Over the years, the company produced many cartoons,
from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (1927) to Silly Symphonies(1932), Snow White and the
Seven Dwarfs (1937), and Pinocchio and Fantasia (1940). The company name was
changed to Walt Disney Studio in 1925. Mickey Mouse emerged in 1928 with the first

Island, and in 1954, the company began television with the Disneyland anthology series.
In 1955, Disney’s most successful series, The Mickey Mouse Club, began, and the new
Disneyland Park opened in Anaheim, California.

Dog, Zorro, Mary Poppins, and The Love Bug. Walt Disney died in 1966. In 1969,
Disney started its educational films and materials. Another important time of Disney’s

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Funding for Disney
There are various way as to how Disney gets funding such as...
1) Selling shares in the company are sold to the highest bidder which can be
quite expensive. The current stock market price for disney is $107.04.
2) from box office sales of tickets for their movies, also their . In 2013 the
disney film frozen reached $1,287,000,000 in the box office charts which
is now the number one highest grossing animated film in the box office
charts.
3) Their various theme parks around the world. The magic kingdom in
florida have around 53,000 guests per day.
4) Selling merchandise such as stuffed toys and t-shirts from either their
online store or one of their many physical store around the world.
4. Subsidiaries of Disney
Disney has many subsidiaries that they have either bought or have started up. One
of the main reasons for to extend their company image and create a larger
audience. Another reason Disney have subsidiary companies is to eliminate
competition.
In 2006 Disney bought pixar who are known for their 3D computer animation.
Disney have all the rights to the pixar company and they paid $7.4 billion.
In 2009 Disney bought Marvel Studios and all of their hero’s for $4.24 billion and
Marvel shareholders to receive $30 and approximately 0.745 Disney shares for
each share of Marvel they own.
In 2012 Disney bought lucasfilm from george lucas for $4.05 billion in both cash
and Disney shares.
5. Synergy in Disney
Disney uses synergy in all its media forms. A good example of their use of synergy is
in their selection of original characters. Their most iconic character Mickey Mouse
can be seen in all forms of media. He can be seen in movies such as fantasia and
Mickey's once upon on a christmas; in video games such as kingdom hearts and
Disney infinity; in books such as Mickey Mouse tales and Disney comics; finally in tv

7. BBC Ownership
The BBC is technically owned by the british public, but is run by the government,
who created the BBC trust to look over the BBC. In april OFCOM (office of
communication), was instead put in charge of the BBC, taking over the Trust. With
the changes, it's not 100% who is in charge of the BBC, but the current director
general of the BBC is called Tony Hall
both OFCOM and the BBC trust run the BBC according to a royal charter. the royal
charter has three missions
1- To Inform
2- To Entertain
3- To Educate
8. Funding the BBC
The BBC is primarily funded by a annual TV licence fee, which is charged to all
British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to
receive or record live television broadcasts.
Another way the BBC is funded is the selling of Formats, BBC sells formats for
shows, allowing them to be shown in other country, for instance, “the great british
bake off” may become “the great american bake off”, and the american channel will
pay for the rights to use that format.
9. Subsidiaries of the BBC
The BBC as a whole is a conglomerate, with BBC being the mother corporation and
everything under it being a subsidiary. The BBC has many subsidiaries, their four
commercial Subsidiaries are BBC Worldwide, BBC Studios, BBC Studioworks and
BBC Global News.
For instance BBC worldwide is in charge of helping the reach of the BBC overseas.
Selling BBC products overseas and monetising BBC brands outside of Great Britain.
The advantages to being a conglomerate is that the head of each subsidiary can
control it without having to defer to the Mother corporation to much, allowing for
more flexibility, a small group could not control all of the BBC conglomerate so it’s
put into subsidiaries instead.
10. Subsidiaries of the BBC
Another example of a subsidiary is BBC global news, They are in charge of
international news and current affairs news channel. It has a large viewbase. It
broadcasts television programming including BBC News bulletins, documentaries,
lifestyle programmes and interviews. It employs more correspondents and reporters
and has more international bureaus than any other news channel.
11. Synergy in the BBC
The BBC has many products that show themselves over many mediums, the allowing of other
companies to use your products is known as synergy
I think the most obvious of these Is Dr.Who, there are Dr.Who books, magazines, movies, video
games and more. This is synergy as it has the product over many forms of media, This not only
increases the visibility of the brand, meaning more will know about it, but it increases the target
audience, as more groups will be interested in the brand.
Many americans first exposure to Dr who was the 1996 film, and thus from that, became fans and
bought and consumed more of the product, such as the TV show. This shows a different form of
media can increase the target audience.
12. Examples of services and
products of the BBC
Products Services
Eastenders- older groups, 25-50 BBC one
Copycats- for younger kids, age 5-12 CBBC
Live lounge, teenage audiences, 13-20 BBC Radio 1
BBC breakfast- mostly for adults of all ages, due to
early showing.
BBC News
A product is a consumable piece of media, a service is a platform in which you consume
that media. For example, TV-shows are products, while the channel itself is a service.
